Why TSM?

  • What motivates you to join TSM?

As a tech enthusiast with amateur entrepreneurial ambitions, TSM presents itself to me as a befitting venture. Why tech? Because it gives one the unparalleled potential to positively impact the lives of huge populations and make the world a better place, which sounds pretty powerful to me. Also because, simply put, I enjoy building things and watching them radiate in the hands of users. Nothing could be more satisfying. Entrepreneurship is where I leverage technology to solve problems and challenge the status quo. The best tech products we rely on every single day had been born out of a desire to address problem(s) that most people faced, but chose to live with rather than "seek redress". I was a developer of SMUMods, a 100% student-run initiative that's looking to redefine the college experience. As an SMU student myself, I tackle common challenges students face (in particularly when in comes to bidding) by developing innovative solutions that makes their student life a more smooth-sailing ride. Here is a Medium article if you are interested to know more about my journey building the SMUMods Analytics feature that was hailed a "game changer" by SMU students.
